Christmas Goody Bag

When you're making all those holiday goodies, it's always nice (and fewer calories for you) if you give some of them to family and friends. Here's a cute goodie bag you can make to use for an eatable gift.

1. Run your Top Note die through the Big Shot machine using a red patterned paper. Run a medium die from the Framelits Labels Collection to cut out of green patterned paper.
2. Score and fold the Top Note die in half so that it will fit over the end of the gift bag.
3.Stamp the "naughty nice" greeting on to white card stock with Raspberry Ripple ink.

4. Use the Decorative Label punch to punch out the greeting.

5. Adhere the green Framelits cut out to the folded Top Note die with part of the framelits sticking above the Top Note. Adhere the "naughty/nice" stamped image to the green framelits.

6. On another piece of green patterned paper, stamp the "to/from" from the Very Merry Tags set in Raspberry Ripple ink. Cut out a rectangle about 1 3/4 x 2 1/2". Adhere it to the back of the folded Top Note Die.
7. Fill your gift bag with homemade goodies. Fold the top over about 1/2."

8. Place the decorated Top Note over the bag fold and staple it down. The staple will hold the goodies inside the bag until ready to be eaten.
